Wedding season is over, the holidays have come and gone, and it’s a brand new year. That can only mean one thing: I finally have time to work on Photoshop Presets and Actions again! I’m pretty excited to finally release my first pack of Presets for Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), which will contain 18 presets as well as a small kit for ...

For that reason I’m happy to debut the first of many Action Spotlight posts. Here, I’ll be offering up extra ...
